Sun Valley are nuts about
Axium Process’ Filters
Sun Valley, a market leading supplier of quality
processed and raw nuts to Europe’s most successful
retailers and major blue chip manufacturers,
has recently purchased a number of bespoke
filter systems which have been designed and
manufactured by filtration specialist, Axium Process
and which are providing Sun Valley with improved
process efficiencies and reduced downtime.
Working closely with Sun Valley, Axium’s engineers designed and built a
stainless steel duplex and triplex filter system using Axium’s Pure-Screen
Wedge-Wire Filters which have a proven track record for their reliability,
robustness, versatility and are also very simple to clean. The system, which
is manufactured in 316L stainless steel, was delivered complete with frames,
gauges, isolation valves and fittings and was supplied with full materials
certification to BS EN 10204 3.1.

Heraeus installs first Gas Catalytic Infra-Red
Oven in the UK for customer trials at its
Neston Applications Centre
Heraeus Nobleight has installed a gas catalytic infrared oven at its Neston, Wirral, Applications Centre.
This complements the range of electric infra-red
systems at Neston, so that customers, and potential
customers, will now, for the first time, have the
opportunity of trialling their products using various
infra-red technologies, to achieve the optimum
process to meet their heating, curing or finishing
requirements. The new oven is particularly suitable
for powder coating and the Neston installation also
includes a powder-coating station and an overhead
conveyor to simulate real process situations. Other
applications include food drying, thermo forming, textiles drying, leather
curing and curing coatings on heat-sensitive substrates, such as MDF.

New Product launch
from SEEPEX SCT’s
Big Brother has arrived!
Increased Productivity and lower energy requirements, these 2 benefits
complement each other in the latest development to SEEPEX’s Smart
Conveying Technology (SCT), the innovative technology for progressive
cavity pumps
In addition to the well-established 1-stage design for pressures up to 4 bar,
SCT is now available in a 2-stage design for pressures up to 8 bar. The
2-stage design has the same features as 1-stage SCT: a stator split into two
halves, which can be removed from the rotor without dismantling suction or
discharge pipework, a quick release rotor, and an intelligent re-tensioning
system.
It has been further developed for higher pressures, and continues to offer
enhanced pump performance, longer component life and easy maintenance.
If you would like more information on 1 or 2-stage SCT then please contact
[email protected] for more information or to arrange a SEEPEX visit.

MONO™ Pump from
NOV set to repeat
30-year success
A Mono™ Compact C progressing cavity pump provided by NOV has been specified as a
replacement for a previous Mono pump that had operated without any problems for over
30 years. The new pump is being used in a fertilizer production process by GrowHow – a
leading UK fertilizer manufacturer, and a major supplier to the chemical process industry.
GrowHow had been using an original SH80 pump for a demanding effluent transfer
duty, which had given good service for over three decades. “The original pump was
still working well, but unfortunately it had been discontinued and GrowHow decided to
upgrade to the latest pump design,” explains NOV Account Manager Paul Green. “We
proposed a Compact C range pump as the most appropriate modern alternative and
it proved to be an excellent choice,” he adds. “We needed something which combined
excellent suction lift performance with the ability to handle high suspended solids
content,” continues GrowHow’s Chris Smith. “It also had to be able to withstand the very
aggressive nature of the effluent, so that it could prov
